Localization(Aegis)

NAME
The Localizations Directories

DESCRIPTION
This directory contains specifical localizations of the Aegis message catalogue, manual entries and documentation.

It is organised as one directory for each localization.

Each localization name, each directory names, may be anything that GNU Gettext's “finddomain” function understands. Here is a brief overview:
    $LANG now possibly contains a colon separated list of locales. Each single locale can consist of up to four recognized parts for the XPG syntax:
        language[_territory[.codeset]][@modifier]
    or six parts for the CEN syntax:
        language[_territory][+audience][+special][,sponsor][_revision]
    The XPG format is much preferred, because it nominates a codeset set name.

  Language Name
The language name must be one of the 2-letter names from the ISO 639 standard.

See http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt for a list of these codes. The is also a list in the doc directory of the GNU Gettext distribution.

Please do not use the proposed 3-letter ISO 639/2 codes until it is ratified.

  Territory Name
The language identifier is mandatory, all other parts are optional. Usually “territory” means country, so please the the ISO 3166 2-letter country code. (e.g. en_us :-)

You can find the list at ftp://rs.internic.net/netinfo/iso3166-countrycodes

  Codeset Name
It is important to nominate the codeset name, so that the GNU Recode program can be used to move translations to a different codeset.
